Dryer Lint Filters

[maytag85]

A Frigidaire Filtrator doesn’t need any venting BUT they are heavy and get a little on the hot side when drying since the hot air doesn’t really have anywhere to go at all. Condenser dryers are great if you don’t have a vent but won’t work when it’s warm since it relies on the cooler ambient temperature to help condense the water.

Has anyone ever used those Kenmore dryers with the room heater that slides in place of the lint screen? If so how well did it work?

My point was that its not a good idea to vent a gas dryer indoors. Folks are here are giving anecdotes which doesn't make it any safer in practice. Guess what, countless electricians will tell you of working live. I've even diagnosed then repaired a few major appliances live. Yes you'll usually live getting hit with 120 or 277, until the day you don't. Just because could, doesn't mean you should.

Dryer owners manuals .....

say to clean out the exhaust vent pipe all the way back to the outside once a year or more.

The gunk I have gotten out of these has been a eye opener. Could not imagine what it would be like .... and the fire hazard .... if there were no lint filter!

Boiling A Large Pot Of Water On A Gas Range

Actually will produce far more CM than burning 5 burners on high flame heating the kitchen because when the flame is touching the relatively cooler pot of water [ the pot will never go over about 212-225 degrees F ] so you end up with incomplete combustion and a lot of CM.

Monsters are the most interesting people!.....

so your saying boiling pot is more effective that smoking it?....

I can see your point that both would create a cloud in the room....
